must not be used for as climbing aids or as connection of lifting gear.
Lifting to be carried out by using suitable handling equipment.
Weights of valves to be taken from data sheet.

 The valves are delivered with plastic protection covers in both flange ends and in the
pipe connection to the release cylinder (13). The covers shall not be removed until the
installation.
 If the covers have been removed inspect the internals carefully for dirt before
installation.
 The valves must be stored indoors well protected from dust and moisture.
 Long time storing must be done in warm warehouses to avoid corrosion attack on
unprotected areas inside the valve.
 Do not damage the external coating during transportation and storing.

4.2 Operating principles

11B

The valve is a stop valve with a remote quick

closing function, but can also serve as a
conventional stop valve by using the hand
wheel (11).

 The quick closing action is instantly

carried out by a spring (4), pre-compressed
by turning the hand wheel.
 The stem (10) and attached disc (3) is
hooked up by means of the setting nut (9).
 When the setting nut is released from
loaded position - the valve will close.

Release from loaded position is done by the

release mechanism, see following description
of release alternatives. Retracting the piston
rod (14) extension in the release cylinder
(13) by hand will also close the valve.

Note: Bonnet turned 90° from factory.

Article no: 74500 Revision: 6 7 (22)

 Installation and operating manual
Quick closing valve

4.2.1 Loading the valve for Quick Closing

21B

Turn the hand wheel (11) in closing direction (clockwise) until the
piston rod (14) in the cylinder comes out and holds the setting (9)
nut in its upper position. If needed push back the piston rod (14)
by hand

Note! The ring on the stem (10) indicates that the valve is closed
when the ring is in the same height as the zero in the indicating
symbol at the side of the bonnet (8).

Make sure that the piston rod (14) is fully extended before
opening the valve. If needed, reset the piston rod (14) by pushing
back the eye bolt.

Turn the hand wheel (11) in opening direction (anti clockwise).

Stop the turning of the hand wheel (11) when the mechanical stop
is felt and the setting nut (9) is in hard contact with the shoulder
on the stem (10).

Attention!
It is important that the piston rod (14) is fully extended before resetting the valve. If not reset
automatically by the internal spring, push back the piston rod by hand.

Article no: 74500 Revision: 6 8 (22)

 Installation and operating manual
Quick closing valve

4.2.2 Closing of valve by the remote Quick Closing function

22B

The valve is quick closed by a remote hydraulic or pneumatic signal or by pulling back the piston rod
(14) of the universal release cylinder (13) by a wire arrangement. In all systems also the fire release
arrangement is operating by the melting ring which in case of contact with fire will close the valve.

Attention!
Be aware of the fact that the valve stem with related components as hand wheel (11) will fall down
very rapidly by spring force at closing of the valve which can cause injury.

Also avoid injury by always secure the release system when work is carried out on the valve. When
testing the remote release system, stay away from moving parts on the valve.

4.2.3 Closing of valve by the remote Mechanic system

23B

The mechanical release system is arranged by connecting a wire to the

eye bolt (12). By pulling the wire the piston rod (14) is moved to release
position and the valve will close.

4.2.4 Closing of valve by the Automatic fire release

24B

The release cylinder is internally equipped with a melting ring (see

arrow) which will melt at temperatures above 178 °C. The strong
spring will push the piston rod (14) into the release cylinder (13)
allowing the valve to close by spring force.

Attention!
It is important that the release cylinder (13) is replaced when it has been exposed to excessive heat.
